Eclipse mirror sites

Mirror site request form

Eclipse.org is looking for reliable sites with sufficient
bandwidth and stable internet connectivity to provide mirrors of the Eclipse
software downloads. You may also mirror the download site on your internal network.

What are the requirements to become an Eclipse.org mirror?

An rsync client.

700 GB of disk space

We ask that you run rsync at least once a day to update your mirror.
Rsync updates will proceed more quickly between 4:00pm and 4:00am Eastern time, which represents the lowest bandwidth utilization period on Eclipse servers.

Sufficient bandwidth to support the mirror. We recommend at least 100 Mbps of available bandwidth.

Eclipse.org administrators may remove a mirror site from the list at any time, if we feel it is necessary.

How do I start ?

1. Fill out the following form:

Organization/affiliation name (required)

Internal mirrors should prefix [INTERNAL] to the Organization name

Your name (required)

Your e-mail address (required)

IP address (required)

Internet-facing IP address of the rsync client. This can only be a single IP.

Country (required)

HTTP URL (required)

Base URL to the mirror. (http://www.yourdomain.com/eclipse)

2. Wait for a confirmation from the Webmaster. Your IP address must be added to our Access List. You won't be able to connect to our RSYNC service until this is done. Alternatively, you can RSYNC at any time from one of our hubs (see script, below)

3. Configure your RSYNC client. You can download and use this shell script to mirror Eclipse: eclipse.org-rsync.sh.txt.
Contact webmaster@eclipse.org if you require further details.

4. Advise us that you're up-to-date. Once your mirror is ready, we ask that you send
a message to eclipse-mirrors@eclipse.org. We'll provide a link to your mirror!
